The focus areas are people affected by all types of diabetes, this includes people with type 1 diabetes, people with type 2 diabetes, women with gestational diabetes, people with other forms of diabetes, their families and carers, and people at risk of developing diabetes.

According to Diabetes Australia, over 300 Australians develop diabetes every day. That’s one person every 5 minutes. Diabetes is a complex condition that can affect the entire body. Diabetes, may it be Type 1 or Type 2. It can be managed with the help of your healthcare professional. Whether or not you are diagnosed with diabetes, understanding the condition can help better manage it as well as ensure better quality of life for yourself and your loved ones. It is highly likely you know someone with diabetes, maybe a family member or friend. This is because diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in Australia and globally.

Community awareness of the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is still surprisingly limited. Therefore as a community, it is vital to foster a culture of shared understanding of what diabetes is and be part of the solution that turns the diabetes epidemic around.
